Organise the move around your workplace
An office move is not only about transporting desks and boxes. It also involves deciding what moves first, how items will be labelled, who has access to the premises and what needs to be ready at the new location. A written inventory and a simple floor plan can make the relocation easier to coordinate.
Safe Movers provides office relocation services for businesses moving within Canberra or connecting to an interstate move. The moving quote can be based on the number and type of workstations, furniture, storage items, packed cartons and the access conditions at both premises.
Build a clear inventory
List desks, chairs, storage units, meeting-room furniture, archive boxes and other items that are part of the move. Separate items that will not be moved so the moving inventory stays accurate.
For computers, monitors and specialist equipment, decide who will disconnect, pack, reconnect and test them. Sensitive data, keys and important records should be managed under your organisation’s own procedures rather than treated as ordinary moving boxes.
Plan access and timing
Confirm building access hours, loading docks, lift bookings, parking arrangements and any requirements set by building management. If the move needs to happen in stages, identify which teams or areas are moving in each stage.
A nominated contact person at the origin and destination helps keep decisions simple on moving day, especially when there are multiple staff members or contractors on site.
Prepare the destination
Label destination rooms or zones before the move so boxes and furniture can be placed in the intended area. If possible, provide a basic floor plan and mark any furniture that has a specific destination.
After the move, keep an inventory check for important items. This is particularly useful where the relocation involves multiple rooms, shared storage or staged delivery.
Frequently asked questions
What should an office relocation quote include?
Provide both addresses, access details, the approximate number of workstations, furniture and cartons, preferred timing and any staged-moving requirements.
Can an office move be planned in stages?
Yes. If your business needs a staged relocation, describe the sequence when requesting a quote so the scope can be assessed around that plan.
Should IT equipment be listed separately?
It is useful to identify computers, monitors and specialist equipment separately so your team can decide how those items will be disconnected, packed and reconnected.
